A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Application-Layer Traffic Optimization Working Group of the IETF. Title : Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Problem Statement Author(s) : J. Seedorf, E. Burger Filename : draft-ietf-alto-problem-statement-03.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2009-09-15 Distributed applications -- such as file sharing, real-time communication, and live and on-demand media streaming -- prevalent on the Internet use a significant amount of network resources. Such applications often transfer large amounts of data through connections established between nodes distributed across the Internet with little knowledge of the underlying network topology. Some applications are so designed that they choose a random subset of peers from a larger set to exchange data with. Absence any topology information guiding such choices, or acting on sub-optimal or local information obtained from measurements and statistics, these applications often make less than desirable choices. This document discusses issues related to an information-sharing service that enables applications to perform better-than-random peer selection.
